1021 Midland Avenue Townhouses: A 35-Home 1972 Complex Near Eglinton

1021 Midland Avenue is a 35-home condominium townhouse complex from 1972, on Midland near Eglinton Avenue East. Homes here rarely come up, there was nothing for sale or for rent when I checked, and the public record is thin, so this is a complex you buy on the strength of its documents. The corridor around it, though, has just had its biggest transit change in a generation. I’m Jatin Dua, RE/MAX Quantum Realty.

A small, early corporation

Ontario passed its Condominium Act in 1967, and the province’s first condominiums were low-rise townhouse projects occupied from 1968. YCC-98 was registered in November 1972, which puts this complex in the first few years of condominium ownership in Toronto.

With 35 homes, it is a small corporation. Small complexes can be pleasant places to live, with owners who know one another and a board that knows every roof and driveway. The trade-off is that each major repair is shared among very few households, so the reserve fund has to carry more of the load.

Homes here do not come up often. There was nothing for sale or for lease when I checked, which is typical for a small complex where owners stay a long time. If you want to live here, be ready to act when something appears, and do the groundwork on the corporation in advance.

What I could not confirm, and how to fill the gaps

Condos.ca lists no developer, no property manager, no amenities and no fee inclusions for this corporation, and I could not find reliable public floor plans or size ranges. I would rather tell you that than guess.

That shapes how you buy. Ask the listing agent for the floor plan and room measurements, and compare them like for like with other 1970s townhouse corporations in the area. Ask what parking comes with the home, whether it is a garage, a driveway space or a surface spot, and whether it is owned or exclusive-use common element.

Ask who manages the complex, or whether the board manages it itself. Then ask what the fee covers. In some townhouse complexes of this era the fee includes water or even heat, and in others it covers little beyond the common elements and insurance, which changes your monthly budget considerably.

A 1972 townhouse corporation: where the money goes

In an older townhouse complex the big costs are predictable: roofs, windows and exterior doors, siding or brick repairs, paving, fences and the underground water and sewer lines that serve the homes. By now, most original components have been replaced at least once, or should have been.

The reserve fund study tells you which items have been done and which are coming, and whether the fund is on track to pay for them. Compare the fund balance with the study’s recommendation, and read the board minutes for any projects being discussed. That is where you will see a large bill coming before it arrives.

Read the declaration as well. It sets out what the corporation maintains and what you maintain, and in early corporations those lines can be drawn differently from what buyers expect, particularly for windows, doors and outdoor spaces. Ask what insurance deductible the corporation carries, because owners are often charged it when a claim starts in their home.

Inside the home, the systems are usually yours. Ask the age of the furnace, the air conditioner and the electrical panel, and whether the windows are original or have been replaced, and by whom. In a complex this age, a home that has had those items done recently is worth noticeably more than one that has not, and is far cheaper to live in.

Midland and Eglinton: the transit story

This part of Scarborough has just changed. Line 5 Eglinton opened on 8 February 2026, with Kennedy Station as its eastern end, connecting the Eglinton corridor to the Line 2 subway and the GO network at Kennedy. The panel on this page shows how far the complex is from Kennedy and from other transit.

The next stage is planned but not funded. The City’s Scarborough East Rapid Transit line, previously the Eglinton East LRT, would continue east from Kennedy along Eglinton for 18.6 km to Malvern Town Centre, and its route includes a stop at Midland Avenue with a centre platform east of Midland. The Province has said the project is not on its priority list, so I would treat it as a long-term possibility.

Day to day, Midland Avenue is a busy north-south road with residential streets of houses and townhouses on either side. Check the orientation of the home you are looking at, since homes facing the road will hear more traffic than those set back inside the complex.

How to price a home at 1021 Midland Avenue

With nothing for sale or for rent when I checked, there is no asking range or fee range I can quote. The sold figures in the panel on this page are the starting point, and with 35 homes they may cover only a few sales over several years, so read them with care.

Widen the comparison to other 1970s condominium townhouses in Eglinton East and nearby, adjusting for size, condition, parking and what the fee includes. Condition matters most: updated windows, a newer furnace, a renovated kitchen and a finished basement can separate two otherwise identical homes by a wide margin.

Do not pay extra today for transit that has not been funded. Line 5 is open and is already part of what the location offers; the planned extension east is not yet. If you want help building a fair number, my building sold report pulls the aggregates for you.
